Don't we all? It's super cute, and Mega-Venusaur is apparently really good at tanking these days.

Yay! More Sienar Systems TIE variants!

What do they call that one?


1 person marked this as a favorite.

The TIE Striker. It was the atmospheric fighter from the Battle of Scarif in Rogue One.

Except that the A-wing part seems to lack engines.

Hmmmm. Indeed. Upon closer examination.

Meh. Just duct tape two Novaldex engines on the back of the center fuselage. Problem solved. Call it the A-wing Plus Two.

Just had a thought. The nacelles on the Y-wing (Mk II ?) appear to be articulated. This would mean that the ship can vary its performance due to tactical circumstances.


2 people marked this as a favorite.

So, you're saying the Y-Wing might've been even more one of the best ships ever then we already knew.

Fascinating.

I'm hiding in my office/the pantry, because I'm afraid if I come out the dog will want to go out, and it's wintery out there, and it's nice and warm back here. And it's still a big mess and our area is filled with college students who aren't used to dealing with 8 inches (of snow) so I know I'm going to help at least three people get their car unstuck.

But, if I wait another half hour it should sort itself out.

If you look closely at the image around the area of the nacelle arms, you'll see some sort of hydraulic mechanism running from the arms' midpoint back into the fuselage.

I will, though I'll probably get distracted looking for the zerts that need to be greased. :-)

Ah. No wonder I didn't recognize it. I have vowed that Abeloth/Disney will not make any more money off of me through the Star Wars franchise. And that includes Rogue One. No matter how good many say it is.


1 person marked this as a favorite.

Still, it is a good fighter. It seems to be much more maneuverable in an atmosphere than the standard TIE.

Ah yes, the end of January. That "special" time of year where you've watched all the DVDs you got for the holidays, played to death or rage quit all your video games and you've burned through everything interesting on Hulu. And you're sick of having to put on twenty pounds of layers just to go outside without losing various appendages.

I also can't wait for the end of February is winter done yet doldrums.

But hey, at least it isn't 70 degrees every day, that wouldn't be as fun.

I appreciate the sentiment, Freehold, but I've made my feelings about all that (nauseatingly) clear in the not-too-distant past.

Unforgivable. Not that they'd even ask.

I'll watch Star Wars, just not for what theaters want to charge me.

But I'll watch it at the budget cinema.

You know, if I have a couple hours free, 2.50, and some Reese's Pieces I want to stuff in my crotch (I hate popcorn, and I'm not paying theater prices for snacks).

Limey, you live in a terraced house.

It is nearly 10 o'clock at night.

You have an elderly neighbour.

Now is not the time for Champion Bugling!

Wish we could preorder PDFs. I will be buying it on release day, though.

But you'll get a PDF with the book purchase.

And get it two weeks earlier.

Then I have to store the book. I have three bookcases, and I still have crap all over the floor. I can't store hardcover RPG books.

But, it's Starfinder, make room on the shelf.

Edit: Or are you subletting your bookshelves to help pay rent, on account of you living in the Bay area.

I reckon I a need to stop saying "on account". On account that i've been watching too much Fargo.

Pea Bear has the day off, but Tiny T-Rex does not. The General told me how she's excited for a daddy daughter day.

Which means I have to come up with something more exciting than walk the dog, do the dishes, and watch shit on Hulu.

I'm probably not for quite some time.

I couldn't afford it, and, though I'm excited about it, it's not gonna happen for a while anyway.

EDIT: dang it, ninja-TOZ~! Now I just look stupid~!
Not that I needed the help... >.>


Oh. Oh. Oh.

I see, 100. I see.

I get it.

See, you're called "100" because there's 100 people and 100 years.

See. Subtle, that.

It's certainly an interesting premise, though, and the first episode* is intriguingly well made.

* EDIT: It's very cleverly titled "Pilot" so, you know, there's that.

Humor aside, it actually is an interesting premise, and well made - there is a surprising tension between the story of those on the ground and those on the station.

EDIT 2: I would say it's kind of corny about the whole 100 teens on the surface instead of adults, but the society is pretty clearly run by relatively myopic and frightened people who don't trust their own children, and are mostly going through the motions of a "civilized" society, rather than an actually forward-thinking one. I am confused about the premise of 100 years having passed, though - I'm not exactly sure if the people have been around that long, or what?

Someone mentioned "hyper sleep" and that may be the trick, but it's unclear why everyone is awake, if that's the case. It may be a matter of future episodes explaining things though.

Oh, and, spoiler alert, I guess there're only 98, now. Oh, I mean 97. Geeze, at this rate, the group down below isn't going to last that long...

I'm pretty sure they'd prefer if you didn't run to the courthouse. Especially when you're holding a garage door opener with a case of brats strapped to your chest.


Daggummit, show (100). >:I

I actually like and empathize with the characters while they're making bad decisions, even as I hate that they're making those decisions.

I... you... dang it.

... okay, no, not that decision. That one's just dumb; well, okay, there are two decisions dumb enough that I don't appreciate/empathize with ('cause you don't know what's in/out there, dang it, don't be stupid for no reason). The latter, at least, worked out okay...

In any event, I do appreciate the back-room politics, wheeling and dealing. I can see that the people believe they're doing the right thing, and I can see why they believe they are doing the right thing, when they aren't. It's... well-done. I'm impressed. I don't know if I agree that these are likely decisions by those people... but, I see why they were written that way, and I'm invested, so.

EDIT: presentation. You know.

EDIT-du: To be clear, this is no Game of Thrones ([ooc]I haven't seen that show - I don't have a method of doing so - so I supposed I can't say that for sure, but, from all I've heard, this is no GoT), but it's still clever politics, humans pressed to the edge and trying their best, with a great set-up. I do feel that the "villain" (the pragmatist) is a little too "villain"-y for my preferences - he's pretty clearly set up from the get-go as the "bad guy" that no one likes and that is doing everything "wrong" - I kind of wish they'd taken a more nuanced approach than that.

That said, he has clear reasons and motivations substantially better than "self interest" in mind, and I'm only two episodes in, so it may yet surprise me (though I doubt it at this point). The only question, to me, is whether or not he's complicit in a certain aspect of villainy it's been implied that he was a part of. It certainly seems that he could be, and definitely implies that he is, but... he denied it, and, for all his faults, he doesn't seem to be the kind to outright deceive in such a direct manner (and he's such a stickler for "the law" that it would feel slightly out of character). But that's just my guess, at present. He could be the most villainy villain of all villains! We will have to see.

Alas, without the added motivation of working outside I just don't have the will power to keep a full beard going all winter.
